Why do people try to police the internet ?

Dear mums net users why do you try to police something that is not yours to police. The Internet is the one of the few dwindling places in the world where true freedom of speech exists. I have a theory to why this is. I believe you try to police the Internet because you lack the common sense to surpass your social mediocrity, To what i mean by this is that instead of "keeping up with the Joneses" with wrapping your middle class bratty children in wool in your "perfect-Eco-friendly big society " and are truly worried about "protecting" your children from the dangerous porn filled Internet then TURN IT OFF and give it back to the basement dwelling geeks like me

Right, attack the Original poster for liking a game that helps concentration and thinking skills, ok.Anyway, looking at the threads here it's just "I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT MY OFFSPRING ARE PLAYING ON/AT/WITH, HOW DO I BAN THEM?!?!?!?!?!?"Seriously, sure talk to them about what's online and tell them to keep away, but don't snoop on their Facebook (it's their privacy) block any site that looks remotely dangerous.

I agree, if your too worried with your kids with their Iphones or Smart phones so don't give him/her any. But, if they needed it for communication, get a not so smart phones that is not supporting internet connection or those with no memory cards.
